On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids kick back with a glass of cognac as they dive into some of your listener messages.

From awkward handshakes and cultural greeting rituals to the ultimate pub chat: could a relegation playoff transform the Premier League? The lads unpack a genius listener suggestion for turning end-of-season misery into box office gold.

They also spotlight a football league where weight loss adds goals, discuss the tragicomic reality of football freestyle stars not making it pro, and weigh in on Arsenal’s growing rep for “Spursiness.” There’s a heartfelt moment too, as a listener shares how Chris’s cancer story helped during his own diagnosis—reminding everyone to check their balls.

With a powerful mix of humour, nostalgia, and top-tier pub debate, this is a classic “messages” episode—and maybe the start of a Premier League revolution.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids dive in with some pre-marathon chat, as Sids gears up for the London Marathon with a torn calf and a point to prove. The lads rally behind him and address what turned out to be a not-so-accurate slogan—‘Quid for Sids’ (actually a fiver).

They unpack this week’s outrageous Premier League predictions, the form of teams like Liverpool and Arsenal, and what’s going on at Chelsea and Spurs. Plus, wild tangents ensue—from Jamie Vardy memes, to middle-seat van etiquette, to a riotous reinvention of football jargon with concepts like ‘false one’ and ‘fraudulent five’.

It’s classic chaos, with hot takes on Harry Maguire up front, Rimmel London’s football insight (kind of), and just enough stats to keep it somewhat legit.

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, something totally unexpected happens—Ashley Cole drops in for an impromptu visit while out in Portugal with Crouchy, catching the lads completely off guard!

With Chris still away and sunning himself on a well-earned holiday, and Sids dialing in from the Chumbawum-bar, this one turns into an unplanned but surprisingly insightful deep dive.

Ashley shares his behind-the-scenes coaching insight from his time with England's U21s, analysing the most exciting young players in English football right now—including Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, and Morgan Gibbs-White—explaining what separates arrogance from confidence in the next generation.

The group also debates whether the Championship-to-Prem gap is now impossible to cross, and whether the so-called ‘mid-table’ teams are actually leveling up faster than you think…

Oh, and it wouldn’t be a classic Pod without a bit of chaos: limbs chat, golf games, and an eBay XI that nobody asked for featuring David “Buy Now” and Erik Ten Haggle.

As ever, absolutely no structure, but loads of laughs.

00:15:25 – Can Nottingham Forest sustain their rise?

00:17:17 – Ashley’s potential future as a manager

00:26:31 – Fan celebrations and “limbs”

00:30:34 – Crouchy’s dad literally fell into a pit!
